If nausea is a frequent issue, what specific action is suggested regarding sugary drinks?

Cut out all sugary drinks for a week to see if relief is achieved, as liquids often sit poorly compared to solids.

When managing gastrointestinal side effects like nausea associated with semaglutide use, dietary adjustments must be immediate and focused. Sugary drinks, including soda, sweet tea, and even 100% fruit juices, are problematic because they offer quick calories without providing satiety and can sometimes cause stomach upset. Furthermore, liquids tend to sit in the stomach differently than solids, often being more easily associated with feelings of reflux or discomfort when the system is already sensitive. Therefore, a targeted diagnostic step suggested is to eliminate all sugary drinks for a specific period, such as one week, to isolate whether this category of intake is contributing to the nausea, as removing these easily accessible, non-satiating liquids often provides noticeable relief.
